Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) remains one of Britain's favourite artists and cartoonists. This re-issue is his entertaining look at driving and car ownership.
The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.
In this book, the artist turns his attention to a different form of horsepower – the internal combustion engine. Belt Up: Thelwell’s Motoring Manual depicts the delights and downfalls of driving, car ownership and life on the open road. First published in 1974, this collection of cartoons features driving lessons, road rage, accidents, technical terms, hazards, and the varying temperaments of men and women drivers.
Prepare to travel back to an age before electric cars and discover Thelwell’s inimitable style and enduring appeal.

In 1952, Norman Thelwell (1923-2004) penned his first cartoon for the satirical British magazine Punch, renowned internationally for its wit, irreverence, and for publishing the world's best comic writers and poets. This led to a relationship that lasted for 25 years and over 1,000 cartoons, including 60 front covers. Thelwell was a master of sharp social comment and sheer zany humour, and his 34 books have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been translated into numerous languages (thelwell.org.uk).
